Duwamish Alive!

Next Duwamish Alive! – April 18, 2015

You are invited to join DRCC/TAG and EarthCorps Sound Stewards at T-107 on April 18, 2015 as we work to keep this site safe and beautiful for community, wildlife, and more.¬† This year, we are celebrating the 10th year of Duwamish Alive!, a collaborative effort of local communities, non-profits, municipalities and businesses. ¬† Duwamish Alive! is an opportunity to connect with your community and to care for places that are important for the health of our River, our wildlife, and our community.¬† By volunteering on this day,¬† you joining hundreds of others working to make lasting improvements at over 12 sites in the Duwamish Watershed.

Terminal 107 or T-107 sits on the shores of the Duwamish River and was originally the construction site for a marine terminal.¬† In 1977, artifacts were found during the development process – and the Duwamish tribe and community fought to preserve the area.¬† Today it stands a public access site that overlooks the original bends of the river!¬†¬† It serves as a place where returning Salmon and other wildlife can rest, feed, and escape from predators.¬† Connect with your community and help us keep this as a safe and beautiful place!
